“We initially hired a fancy, name brand web design and development company that built us a pretty attractive website. It was more or less impossible to update, on a subpar tech stack, and was difficult to work with. Once we figured out we essentially needed to start over, we were lucky to find Erica.”

Background

Phoenix Labs is a video game company in Vancouver, BC, Canada

Type of project:

Web Design, Web Development, & Website Monthly Maintenance

Challenge

The first version of their website was developed by another web design company they did not have a great experience with. They were unable to update the website themselves, had no blogging capabilities and the website did not function optimally on most mobile devices. They also needed other solutions to create a cohesive brand identity.

Solution

The new website was built using WordPress. We built the site so Phoenix Labs was able to update the content themselves, ensured it was mobile-friendly and added an additional page with the team’s bios. We used source control behind the scenes so the site can be updated worry-free. We also designed their business cards and a PowerPoint slideshow template for their presentations to add to their brand identity cohesiveness.

Kind words

“We initially hired a fancy, name brand web design and development company that built us a pretty attractive website. It was more or less impossible to update, on a subpar tech stack, and was difficult to work with. Once we figured out we essentially needed to start over, we were lucky to find Erica.

Erica is a versatile web designer and developer with a great attitude and really efficient and effective communication style. Having worked with many different groups to make sites, it’s been a real joy to have someone who is a super capable graphic designer and well versed in web development as it significantly shortens turnaround time, and make communication and alignment much simpler.

Most important, Erica is one of those rare folks who does what she says she’s going to do, when she says she’s going to do it without all the hassle and cost escalation that often comes along with web development.”
